+Three types of Rocks

1. Igneous

2. Sedimentary

3. Metamorphic

Page 3: +. + Three types of Rocks 1. Igneous 2. Sedimentary 3. Metamorphic.

+Igneous Rocks

Form when lava or magma cools and minerals crystallize.

Lava is magma that flows out onto the Earth’s surface.

Rocks must be heated to temperatures of 800-1200 degrees Celsius.

1. From Earth’s Molten Formation.

2. Decay (Breakdown of radioactive elements generate thermal energy.

This heat melts rock into magma.

+8 Major Elements of Igneous Rocks

1. Oxygen (O)

2. Silicon (Si)

3. Aluminum (Al)

4. Iron (Fe)

5. Magnesium (Mg)

6. Calcium (Ca)

7. Potassium (K)

+2 Types of Igneous Rocks

Intrusive Rock forms when magma cools and solidifies inside the Earth.

(Intrusive = Inside)

Extrusive Rock forms when lava cools and solidifies outside the Earth’s crust.

(Extrusive = Exits the Earth)

+Igneous Rock Classification

By Mineral Compositions Basaltic:

Dark colored, lower silica contents, gabbro Granitic:

Light colored, high silica contents, quartz, feldspar

By Texture Size, shape and distribution of crystals Porphyritic Rocks

Large, well formed crystals Vesicular Rocks

Spongy appearance

Classify different types and textures of igneous rocks

Page 11: +. + Three types of Rocks 1. Igneous 2. Sedimentary 3. Metamorphic.

+ Sediments are small pieces of rock that are moved by water, wind, and gravity.

Page 12: +. + Three types of Rocks 1. Igneous 2. Sedimentary 3. Metamorphic.

+Sediments are made from two processes.

1. Weathering:

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soil and Minerals through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, biota and waters.

Weathering occurs in situ, or "with no movement."

2. Erosion:

Erosion is the process by which material is removed from a region of the Earth surface.

transport of sediments in the natural environment, and leads to the deposition of these materials elsewhere.

It usually occurs due to transport by wind, water, or ice; the force of gravity; or by living organisms, such as burrowing animals, in the case of bioerosion.

Page 13: +. + Three types of Rocks 1. Igneous 2. Sedimentary 3. Metamorphic.

+Formation of Sedimentary Rocks

1. Weathering and Erosion of sediment.

2. Deposition: when transported materials come to rest on the ground or sink to the bottom of a body of water, deposition occurs.

3. Lithification: the physical and chemical processes that transform sediment into rock.

Lithos = stone Lithify= turn to stone.

Page 14: +. + Three types of Rocks 1. Igneous 2. Sedimentary 3. Metamorphic.

+Two processes that cause lithification.

1. Compaction:

The weight of overlying sediments forces the sediment grains closer together.

2. Cementation:

Caused by mineral growth glues sediment grains together into a solid rock.

+Learning Targets

Summarize the formation of sedimentary rocks

Explain the process of lithification

Describe the features of sedimentary rocks

Page 16: +. + Three types of Rocks 1. Igneous 2. Sedimentary 3. Metamorphic.

+Metamorphic Rocks

Metamorphic Rocks form when preexisting rocks are exposed to increase in temperature and pressure.

Root words:

Meta = change

Morphe = form

Metamorphosis : a rock changes form while remaining a solid.

+When high temperature and pressure combine they change…

1.Texture

2.Mineral composition

3.Chemical composition without melting.

Page 18: +. + Three types of Rocks 1. Igneous 2. Sedimentary 3. Metamorphic.

+2 types of Metamorphic Textures

1. Foliated: Layers and bands of minerals in a rock. (stripes)

2. Nonfoliated:Composed mainly of minerals that form blocky crystal shapes.

+Rock Cycle

The continuous changing and remaking of rocks.

Two types of forces used in the Rock Cycle.

1. Destructive: Destroying old rock.

2. Constructive: Making new rock.

Page 20: +. + Three types of Rocks 1. Igneous 2. Sedimentary 3. Metamorphic.

+Rock Cycle Diagram assignment

Create your own Rock Cycle

Must include all three types of rock with examples. (use your book or notes.)

Processes that form each.

Label the forces as either constructive or destructive forces.

Must be colored, neatness will be part of the overall grade

Page 21: +. + Three types of Rocks 1. Igneous 2. Sedimentary 3. Metamorphic.

+Learning Targets

Compare and contrast the different types and causes of metamorphism

Discuss how the rock cycle encompasses each rock type over time.
